Only a Tottenham Hotspur fan can see his club sit in fourth place, three points off the top and still find room for complaint.

Although arguably there is room for improvement, I like to believe that if I can see it, then our coach Andre Villas-Boas can also see it.

Spurs keep on claiming those cleans sheets. Aside from a blip here or there, they keep on winning.

We look superb away from, our tactics spot on.

At home, it’s not so tidy and free-flowing but that is a consequence of away teams parking the bus and sitting deeper than Gollum in the cave.

Take any given home match (possibly Chelsea aside) and we’ve struggled a touch to break teams down.

Norwich was our most successful offensive display but the rest more or less match up as the same ilk of performance when compared.

There is plenty of improvement because we need to balance the width in the side and when the flankers should attack inwards. We have to quickly build up an understanding of how to link midfield to attack using a number 10 to play behind Roberto Soldado.

Christian Eriksen is adapting while Lewis Holtby at the moment isn’t sticking to the role – as seen against Hull. He is far too mobile in other areas and not focused ‘in the hole’.

Did Sandro need to play against Hull? Perhaps Holtby is better suited to a deep-lying maker responsibility, because the biggest issue is tempo and the lack of anyone dictating it for the rest of the side.

These are all good problems to have though and I’m an optimist.

I’ll continue to believe this because I don’t sit and fester over one game in isolation or even a handful. I’d rather see it as before-Christmas and after-Christmas.

I reckon it will take us up until the festive period to find and work at a rhythm that gives us something more than what we have currently.
